Dan LeBatard of the Miami Herald wrote an opinion piece on Sunday before the Dolphins/Chargers game titled 'Try to keep expectations to minimum'. Some pieces of the article:

The Miami Dolphins have overachieved. Try to remember that when the exceptional San Diego Chargers finish the Dolphins today.
...
The Dolphins, meanwhile, have only five players starting from the past five disaster drafts of Dave Wannstedt and Rick Spielman. Five. That's so awful that it is staggering that Saban has even been able to keep this ship floating with so much dead weight on it.

Try to remember that today when the Chargers make your Dolphins look hopeless and lost.

Granted very few people (including myself) thought the Dolphins would play as well as they did Sunday, but that article is just ridiculous. 'Hopeless and lost'? These are still professional football players you're talking about. Its not like its some pop warner team playing against the Colts for crying out loud.

That's what drives me crazy about these sports journalists. They go out and make these wild, baseless statements and paint a team or players with broad strokes. If what they say comes to be, they look like they know what they're talking about. But if they're wrong, its completely forgotten about and they just go on writing the same shit. It will be interesting to see if Mr. LeBatard admits he was wrong about the Dolphins this week. Highly unlikely. Maybe he'll say the Chargers were just overlooking Miami in anticipation of the Colts this week, or that the Dolphins continued to vastly overachieve, or maybe they got lucky. Or even more likely, he'll just pretend that that column never existed, make no mention of it and go on his merry way.
